What Is a Revision Facelift?

A revision facelift corrects or enhances the results of a prior facelift. Whether the initial surgery resulted in visible scarring, asymmetry, over-tightening, or simply aged over time, this procedure can restore structural balance and create lasting, natural beauty.

A Revision Facelift Can Address:

  • Residual sagging or laxity from aging or prior surgery
  • Uneven contours or asymmetry
  • Noticeable scarring or misplaced incisions
  • Overly tightened or “windblown” results
  • Volume loss or irregular texture after prior procedures

Candidacy for a Revision Facelift

Ideal candidates are individuals who have previously undergone a facelift and wish to improve or refresh their results. Common motivations include residual sagging, scar visibility, or loss of natural contour over time. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your facial anatomy, prior surgical details, and healing history to determine whether revision surgery or a combination treatment will best achieve your desired outcome.

Overview of the Procedure

  1. A thorough preoperative assessment, including imaging and review of prior surgical records.
  2. Incisions are made strategically—often along or within previous scars to maintain discretion.
  3. Deep tissues are carefully adjusted and repositioned to restore structure without tension.
  4. Fat grafting or contour refinement may be used to correct asymmetry or hollowing.
  5. Skin is redraped smoothly for a natural, youthful finish.

Every surgical plan is customized to the individual. Depending on the complexity, procedures may last between three and five hours.

About Recovery and Results

Recovery following a revision facelift is similar to a primary facelift but may take slightly longer due to prior scarring. Swelling and tightness typically subside within two to three weeks, with most patients returning to normal activity by week three or four. Results evolve gradually as tissues settle, revealing a refreshed, balanced appearance that endures for many years.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after my first facelift can I undergo revision?

Typically, after 12 months, full healing and tissue stabilization have occurred, allowing for a revision to be performed.

Can a revision facelift correct over-tightened or unnatural results from my first surgery?

Yes. Revision techniques can release overly tightened tissues, reposition skin more naturally, and restore softness to the face while maintaining lift and structure.

Will my facial expressions look more natural after revision surgery?

Yes. Our surgeons emphasize balanced lift and mobility, avoiding overcorrection. The goal is to restore a soft, expressive quality to the face rather than a pulled or “done” look.

Can revision facelifts address volume loss from previous tightening procedures?

Absolutely. Fat transfer or structural grafting can be incorporated into revision surgery to restore midface volume and recreate a youthful, healthy contour.
